Default Facebook page

Hi Les,

This morning at the meeting Mary-Lou Vanrooy brought up the question on opening an OMVA page on Facebook. At that time you said we do not have a page. I see someone has taken the liberty to make one and is using the organizations crest and name as its open to public Facebook page and appears to have 10 members? Someone is keeping a secret....

Here is a thread on this very site discussing it:

There must be some kind of conspiracy going on...
No secrets here, I created a FB page for anyone to use when I was but interim President. It is there to use, go to it.
As far as I know it is open for use for whomever wants to run with it. Sorry I am not a tech savvy Facebook user and must have been occupied when it was brought up today. It was introduced but never used and I think the name or domain is there for use still.
Chris

Sorry guys... I just figured that as an association, things like this would be common knowledge at membership meeting... at least by some members if not the governing body. I've always gone by the rule that if the topic is said to be not true at a formal group function such as our meeting... then it isn't.

I was just bringing it to Les's attention... and the "secret" comment was dry humour.

I truly think the Facebook page would be, and since it does exists.. is a fantastic way for us to connect. No ill intentions was meant by my post.

Default Successful OMVA swap meet

This recent event was a great success: excellent attendance and lots of swap meet goodies. It was an action-packed 8am to noon event. There were numerous familiar faces who I unfortunately didn't have time to hello to since there was so much going on. Congratulations to the new OMVA executives for promoting these events and for their recognition of past volunteers... Brian
